Global Creative Director of Apple Music Larry Jackson joins Rich Kleiman to talk about being a “conduit of culture” and one of the music industry’s most influential behind-the-scenes executives. In addition to helping launch Apple Music from the ground up, he’s worked alongside music legends like Clive Davis, Jimmy Iovine, and Dr. Dre, championed artist-hosted streams (including Lil Wayne’s Young Money radio and the Versuz music battles), and produced artists like Whitney Houston, Kelly Clarkson, and Jennifer Hudson.
Jackson also details his career from the very beginning – when he became a radio station intern at the age of 11 and a program director at 17. This episode includes inspiration, never-before-heard stories about music industry titans, and incredible business insights.
